Hi all,

I'm slowly moving into the self hosted mindset specially for privacy, security and sailing the high seas. This community has been invaluable but I'd like to know which routers you use that fit well with this and plays nice with the services we're hosting.

I'm mostly thinking about wifi support, openwrt, vpn (not a hard requirement), vlans, etc. I know probably a networking community would be a better place for this question, but I think this might be useful for other "self-hosters"

I use unifi access points for wifi, and have an OpnSense router/firewall running on my server (proxmox).

That works really well, only negative ting is that if I reboot my server the internet is down while doing that. But that doesn't happen very often.

    I do almost exactly the same, except I have opnsense running on a cheap dual nic mini PC so I don't have that dependency on my proxmox servers. The unifi stuff does need a controller, but they publish a free app that you can run instead of getting their hardware.

    I'm running the app in an lxc on proxmox for unifi, works perfectly:)

    I'm undecided about getting dedicated hardware for OpnSense. It would be nice when rebooting, but I don't do that often. But then again, it runs fine on the server as a virtual medicine so no need for an extra machine to use power.

    For now it will stay virtual. :)
